Once the hardware is installed, and the images are ready to be processed, the next step is the development of the application which fulfills the enduser's requirements.

The software should
- do the image capturing
- call Carmen engine on the images
- handle the result.

Carmen engine returns a data structure, which contains all the information about the licence plate found you may need.

These data is stored in a structure, therefore
- you can extract those information which you need (just the plate text, or everything, it is up to you)
- you can do anything with these data, eq. store in a database, display on the screen, compare with other data, make statistics...
